Chapter 578
578:
Jeffery glared darkly at his computer screen, its headlines mercilessly broadcasting Lawson Group’s hidden scandals: “Lawson Group Accused of Knowingly Selling Dangerously Defective Products!” “Senior Lawson Group Manager Exposed for Sabotaging Competitors, Forcing Multiple Businesses into Bankruptcy.” Continuous alert notifications rang loudly in his ears.
During the chairman’s absence from Lawson Group, Jeffery Lawson, acting as interim leader, managed to incur significant financial setbacks across various projects.
Not long ago, a real estate initiative led by Lawson Group failed to implement essential safety protocols, tragically resulting in the deaths of several workers. The company has still not addressed or compensated the grieving families.
Reports from within have exposed persistent bullying at Lawson Group, overlooked by management for years. This toxic environment has caused numerous former employees to suffer from depression, a deeply distressing outcome.
News of these scandals rapidly became the talk of the town by morning.
An overwhelming amount of evidence from the official inspection bureau bombarded Lawson Group, leaving their PR team struggling to manage the escalating crisis as it exploded across social media. Through the night, Lawson Group’s shares nosedived, reflecting severe financial repercussions.
Numerous businesses and affluent investors once allied with Lawson Group quickly severed their ties, aiming to cut their losses.
Meanwhile, businesses that partnered early with Burke Group began enjoying tremendous profits.
The reason was clear—Burke Group’s recent strategic alliance with CR Corporation had proven extremely beneficial.
“Just look at Lawson Group’s scandals compared to how CR Corporation handles business! No wonder CR Corporation’s founder is now the wealthiest person in Grester. Clearly, treating employees right goes a long way. It’s no surprise people admire them so much.”

“CR Corporation has always prioritized charity. Remember that auction where their founder paid a billion for a single necklace? All of that money went toward sponsorship programs and charitable causes.”
“It seems CR Corporation spotted Lawson Group’s problems early, which explains why they abruptly ended their partnership.”
“Wait, it just hit me—if CR Corporation was aware of Lawson Group’s scandals all along, instead of publicly shaming them, they quietly accepted the contractual penalty. That’s incredibly generous.”
“This is exactly why CR Corporation operates on a different level. They’re in a league of their own. I’m definitely applying there in the future.”
